Maya Angelou postage stamp revealed
The United States Postal Service has finally revealed the stamp of legendary author and poet Maya Angelou

The Maya Angelou postage stamp is here.
The United States Postal Service announced several weeks ago that they would be honoring the legendary poet in their forever stamp collection. They have finally revealed the postage stamp featuring Maya Angelou.
The stamp has a portrait of Angelou alongside a quote from the author: “A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.”
Angelou was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011 by President Obama and recited a poem at President Clinton’s 1993 inauguration. She died last year at 86.
The legendary author’s long creative career included stage performances that earned her a Tony nomination, recording a calypso record, writing for the screen, directing a film, acting and teaching creative writing.
Her books include the poetry collections “Shaker, Why Don’t You Sing?” (1983), “And Still I Rise” (1978), “Oh Pray My Wings Are Gonna Fit Me Well” (1975) and “Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water ‘fore I Diiie” (1971) and the memoirs “A Song Flung Up to Heaven” (2002), “All God’s Children Need Traveling Shoes” (1986), “The Heart of a Woman” (1981) and “Gather Together in My Name” (1974).
Her Forever stamp was created by artist Ross Rossin. The stamps will go on sale April 7 and can be pre-ordered now.
